Merced River in Yosemite Park

This portion of the Merced River in Yosemite National Park was enjoyed by three of my kids and me one beautiful afternoon. 

Mt. Rainier

A recent drive near the west of Silver Lake in Washington revealed this view of Mount Rainier, one of this state's most treasured sites. This particular photo was shot some fifty miles away from this, one of my favorites!  

Spring run

What caught my eye about this creek crossing, was the tree that overhangs it.

Spring brings full rivers and other tributaries; as well as beautiful colors to enjoy! 

Touched by the morning sun

A few days ago, I stopped to catch this warm picture. Already, these blossoms are starting to disappear; but Spring is catching on! 

Mt St Helens from Ariel

As spring approaches, the leaves are starting to sprout on the trees; while Mt. St. Helens remains snow covered.

This view is seen from the south side of the mountain, while the north side is where the volcano gave way and a cubic mile of earth landslid and blew during the eruption of May 18, 1980.

Redwoods

If you have ever been along the west coast, and traveled through northern California, you've most likely seen some of these gentle giants. Redwood and Sequoia trees are some of God's most amazing and awe-inspiring creations.

Reaching heights of 300+ feet, they are truly incredible; and I, personally, have never tired of seeing or visiting their forests!

Mount Rainier

A visit to Mt. Rainier in Washington State is an experience you truly will enjoy. Its beauty as it rises 14,410 feet above sea level is one of North America's most beautiful places.

My family and I enjoyed such a trip in the fall of 2013!
